Trump casinos sanctioned in unreported attack, underage bets

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) -- Trump Entertainment Resorts has been fined for not notifying the state about a patron who was assaulted on its premises, and also must hand over more than $2,600 won by underage gamblers.

The company is forfeiting $2,648 that Trump Plaza won by gamblers later found to be underage. The fines involved 22 players from Dec. 2012 through May 2014.

Customers must be 21 to gamble in New Jersey. The money goes to a state fund for seniors and the disabled.

The company also was fined $3,000 for not telling state gambling regulators about a June 2014 attack on a casino patron by five people that left the victim hospitalized with multiple injuries.

The casino did call the police, who arrested a suspect. Trump Entertainment declined comment on the incidents.
